Lilac Wine


James Shelton


I lost myself on a cool damp night
I gave myself in that misty light
was hypnotised by a strange delight
under a lilac tree

I made wine from the lilac tree
lost my heart in its recipe
it made me see what I want to see
and be what I want to be

But I think more than I ought to think
I do things I never should do
I drink much more than I ought to drink
because it brings me back you

Lilac wine
is sweet and heady
like my love

Lilac wine
I feel unsteady
like my love

Listen to me
I cannot see clearly
isn’t that he coming to me
nearly here?

Lilac wine
is sweet and heady
where’s my love?

Lilac wine
I feel unsteady
where’s my love?

Listen to me
why is everything so hazy?
isn’t that he
or am I going crazy?

Lilac wine 
I feel I’m ready for my love
feel I’m ready for my love
